I am not familiar with the local pub scene and my sentiments are similar the previous 2 reviews. I organized a dinner for 13 pax there one Thursday evening and here what I have to say.
Location & Setting - Toucan is literally an oasis nested between Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar, I was at the alfresco area between 6.30pm - 7.30pm seated at the barrel table. Enjoying the multi hue transition of the evening sky and indulge in the serendipity that while the city is rapidly discharging humans back to their suburban dwellings, I am completely at ease with a cool Guinness in my hand. Toucan is also as the nexus between the tranquil and pristine Duxton Hill stretch blocked off from traffic that houses architecture firms, restaurants with white table cloth and the Duxton Road filled with pubs.
Food - Nothing much. My lamb shoulder tasted pretty good but the burger, fish and chips my friends ordered looked ... quite ordinary.
Service - Not bad, but the greatest disappointment is that they loaded another table items onto our bill and almost overcharged us by 25%. Luckily I tallied the # of drinks and entrees with the # in my party and pointed to them that the bill don\'t look right.
My otherwise pleasant experience was marred by their tardiness in billing.

Caleb Lim on Zhou's Kitchen (Square 2) 周庄: pretty good high tea starts after 3pm, you can verify on their website
Caleb Lim on Dennis Cafe Restaurant: pretty good value lunch mostly asian, but they have some western set selection also. During my visit, they served 3 types of soup, a seaweed soup, a watercress pork rib soup ( i tried, good soup) & a mushroom soup.
